The Shanghai Tang iPhone 5 Case Collection
Chrysanthemum
Available with an embossed premium leather design, the Chrysanthemum is a traditional symbol of optimism and joy. As it blooms in Autumn and survives the harsh Winter, it is one of the "Four Gentlemen" which represent the Four Virtues and the four seasons.
Shou
Shou represents longevity. The orange Shou symbol on a jet-black background is bold and striking, making the case's user stand out from the crowd.
Dragon
Once reserved exclusively for the emperor, the Dragon is a potent symbol of imperial power. The appearance of a dragon was seen as an omen of good fortune and marked the birth of a great man. It is also associated with protection and fortune. The Dragon case is available in eye-catching green or black embossed premium leather.
